The loved ones of a former Durham University student who tragically died of a brain haemorrhage aged just 25 have helped to raise more than £250,000 to fund vital research into the condition.
Billie Wood had not long graduated from university when she became unwell after moving back home to Somerset. After an evening of pilates, she went to bed - only for her mum, Sophie, to find her screaming in pain on the landing the following morning, Somerset Live reports.
Billie was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary and then transferred to Southmead’s specialist neurological unit after doctors discovered she had suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage. She spent six days in intensive care and underwent several operations.
